"It was like the same tapes were kind of, like, back in the brain."
Metaphor in Context
I was, like, just looking to be strong enough to have another child. It was like the same tapes were kind of, like, back in the brain. Everything just felt impossibly heavy.
At some point, I found myself with my green belt. I just wanted to wrap it around my neck, and so I did. And I wanted to pull it hard. And I did. That was really a call for help.
